The arts festival takes place between Christmas and New Years at the Miccosukee Indian Village. It features Indian dances, food and crafts booths, a museum and alligator shows.
The parking lot is paved, there are many handicapped spaces and plenty of room for RV parking. All of the paths between the craft chickee booths are new concrete. The viewing for the alligator shows is very good. There’s a short ramp into the seating area for the dance stage which puts you up close for a good view. The museum is small but everything is easy to see. There’s also a boardwalk that goes a little way out into the marsh and around a pigpen (they don’t smell!).
The only thing that isn’t very good is the ramp up into the gift shop. It’s steep and the door opens out. I think that it would be impossible for someone on their own to push up and then open the door.
We were pleased at how well thought the access was in the village and enjoyed our visit. There were very few dancers, not the number that we’re used to seeing at powwows, but they were all very good.
On a cautionary note – I’ve read some reviews of the Indian Village and it looks like it may be kind of empty at slow times of the year.
